Remember when Howard Dean made a weird-sounding ”Yaahhhhhh!” on stage during the Democratic primaries in 2004 and the entire country just sorta collectively decided that, for that minor offense, he wasn’t allowed to be President?
What the fuck happened to those days?!
The dude was an MD, worked his up the Vermont state legislature and eventually became the Lt. Governor of the state all while continuing to practice medicine. He became the governor when the previous one died— and was hugely popular, being re-elected five times. He paid off Vermont’s debt, balanced their budget eleven times and lowered income taxes twice all while expanding the state healthcare service. He publicly opposed the invasion of Iraq when it wasn’t politically expedient to do so. He approved an amendment to the state constitution which recognized civil unions between same-sex couples.
And then, one cold evening in Iowa in 2004, he got a little carried away by how well his outsider Presidential campaign did at the caucus and he said a word in a weird way… and that’s the thing he became known for in perpetuity and his career was fucking over

Both non-trump supporters and Trump supporters would like this plaque. The market is for both
